Practice Areas : Intellectual Property : International Trade Commission Investigations Patton Boggs’ International Trade Commission (ITC) group combines technical skill, courtroom savvy, and a comprehensive understanding of public policy to create a formidable team that is able to address all aspects of an ITC case – an ability which sets Patton Boggs apart from its competitors. Under the unfair practices in import trade law, the ITC has authority to investigate claims of patent, trademark, and/or copyright infringement. In addition, the law allows the ITC to issue orders to stop unfair methods of competition and unfair acts in the importation and/or sale of imported infringing products, specifically by means of an exclusion order enforced by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. In all, this legislation continues to bring about numerous high-stakes cases, where success is dependent upon having a team that is fully capable of handling both these cases’ litigation and enforcement/remedy components. Patton Boggs utilizes highly-skilled trial attorneys, many of whom possess advanced or undergraduate technical degrees to deal with the courtroom issues. These trial attorneys interact closely with the firm’s patent attorneys, who possess technical degrees applicable to the case, to provide clients with a distinctive approach in resolving issues affected by the ITC. To address the issues relating to the scope and enforcement of the remedy, presidential review, or other policy issue, Patton Boggs fields a team of world-class government regulation and/or public policy lawyers, a number of whom also possess advanced technology degrees and have previous, hands-on experience dealing with the government agencies involved in the enforcement/remedy component on an ITC case. Together, the firm’s ITC team has the trial experience, technical aptitude, and comprehensive understanding of public policy necessary to succeed in today’s “bet the company” intellectual property litigation.
